I'm also looking for two black reclinable bucket seats in any condition. That's like the last major thing that I need to buy.

Anyone have a set lying around that they would like to part with?

I can't fit any other seats because the mounts were removed by the PO.

Reclinable racing seats seem to be the easiest to adapt.

What happened to the Porsche seats?
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Didn't buy them, would have cost a bit too much after shipping + re-upholstering was factored in :!:

Yup - Quite different to a Beetle chassis. The rails are mounted on the sides of the chassis, not on the pan like a Beetle :)

Thanks for the offer, but they won't work. At one stage I was looking at CTI semi-bucket seats, but they would have been an absolute cow to fit. So racing buckets it is - will have to make up a custom subframe :wink:
